dana bash is up on the hill. i have here in my hand this 35-page actual piece of legislation that passed the senate overwhelmingly and the house overwhelmingly. i finally went through it as a lot of people went through it last night, i was surprised to see extraneous issues in this very important legislation. stuff that had nothing to do with the government shutdown, had nothing to do with raising the nation's debt ceiling. why did they include what critics are calling pork in this legislation? >> reporter: i'm glad you asked me that. i think it's important to give context. there have been some illusions to that in our discussion this morning. if you look at what they actually put in here, there's no bridge to nowhere. there's no bee museum or bike path so someone can go home and cut a ribbon. it's not that kind of pork, egregious earmarks that ended the practice of official earmarks. there is one thing that people have talked about, $2.2 billion for an ohio river dam project between kentucky and illinois that co

it did not so we're waiting along with our dana bash and gloria borger. the question hovering what is john boehner going to do? you heard charlie dent a republican say that he thinks boehner is going to bite the bullet, take whatever the senate negotiates, put it on the floor of the house and it will pass with mostly democratic support, not republican support. that's not going to be easy for him to do. >> well, it's not going to be easy for him to do. >> politically. >> politically. >> principled-wise it will be. >> right. both of those things are true. but what i think is that it will be a lot easier for him to do after three weeks of fighting. because he has built goodwill. he has built trust among the conservatives because he did fight the good fight, even against as charlie dent was saying like basic math, knowing that the math just doesn't add up, that the senate is still controlled by democrats, that there's still a democrat in the white house. so i think that he still is going to be in pretty good shape with conservatives. but what i'm hearing more
